Where'd the reindeer boob go?

So how do you think the OP should handle his business dilemma?

but... OP, seems like you need some better programming to get your bench up. Ilovedeadlifts has a good suggestion, just start light. Greyskull Linear Progression, SS, or 5/3/1 could be other good options for where you're at right now. Read up on each one and see which one you believe will help you the most. I agree with…

Coffee w/ MCT oil, creatine, 10g Whey Isolate. Never had adrenal fatigue

Just treat them like any other client. Charge them appropriately for your time and expertise. Even though CF sucks.

Listen to your poop.

The Volek books are really good. Check out DangerouslyHardcore.com for a lot of well researched information.

I'm going to pick a new goal.

I didn't post a time frame for everyone. I'm doing a 12-week program (on week 3). I think we can each state our own time frame that fits our individualized plan.

HIIT on a stationary bike would be OK.

Lift heavy and eat everything in sight. Hypertrophy time.

Good luck!

My 5AM training is much better when I eat a lot right before bed. In general, I don't recommend eating after you go to sleep. It could be a choking hazard.

Wow, this thread caught on like wild fire.

OP, it depends on your goals. If you want to run marathons, then 135 is probably good. If you want to bench 300 and strike fear in the hearts of strangers, probably not.

The claim is that it makes it easier to add muscle without adding as much fat as a typical bulking diet, or easier to hold on to your muscle mass while cutting.

Sounds like Crossfit

Definitely. I went through an adjustment period where I considered dropping the program because I felt terrible and my gym performance was suffering. I adjusted and started getting back to PR's in a few weeks. I can see how some would not react well to it and if your gym performance remains poor throughout the diet, it's…

Fire Rock, you throw me with your persistent avatar switching. I'm like, "who's the new guy talking like he knows stuff?" Oh, FR with a new avi.

It's worked for me. I did Carb Nite for a few weeks after the prep phase and then CBL for a few months (still doing it). 6/2012 I was 215 and my maxes were 450, 345, and 475. I got down to 185 by the beginning of October and 11/3/2012 put up 475, 355, and 525 at 190. So I got stronger and significantly reduced my body fat…

Current max = 355 (paused) Goal = 405 (paused) The plan 4 weeks hypertrophy 1 week CNS amplification 6 weeks strength 1 week CNS amplification Test new max From there, I'll see how far off I am and decide how to attack the big 4.

Go see a doctor. This could be anything from DOMS to a disc. We'll never know on here.

Is it hooked up to more than one set of pulleys?

It depends on what you will stick to. From a scientific perspective, no, it's not important. But from a practical perspective, if you can eat the same foods every day and hit your targets to reach your goals, then variety is not important. If you get bored of foods and need to change it up to keep it interesting, then…

Wow, Jillian, that sounds great. Can I buy your DVD?

It's water. I always look fatter post-workout. You can believe 100% that fat does not come out of hiding when you work out only to disappear when you go to sleep.

Thanks. WRT Grip training, Kroc Rows (1-arm DB rows) are great. Go for AMAP with a challenging weight and be explosive on each rep.

Then why do Olympians compete in the clean & JERK? So confusing...
